Motherhood is a marathon. Enjoy the run.
By Guest Writer Sarah at Mama Sweet Pea My life is busy. I am a typical home school mom with 7 children. (If there ever was such a thing.) My husband and I have always wanted to be obedient to God's will for our lives. We were obedient with allowing him to decide the size of our family. We were obedient to home school. We really thought we had things figured out. Then when my … [Read more...]
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever. Psalm 107:1 This past weekend, my husband and I, together with our boys, celebrated 16 years of marriage. We had discussed what to do to celebrate, and seeing how I'm nine months pregnant and all, we knew we wanted to stay close to home and keep it simple this year. Both of us felt like we wanted to include … [Read more...]
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever. Psalm 107:1 Sometimes I feel like I'm redundant when it comes to Thankful Thursday posts, because inevitably, I want to talk about the same things: the eight nine men in my life now. They are my world. They challenge me to be a better person. A better wife. Not just for my husband's sake, but for the sake of being … [Read more...]
Two sentences in, I backspace all of it. That's wrong, I think to myself. Then once again, I try to capture the words that only sometimes exist to express how this mother's heart feels about her unique design. As a mother of eight sons, it's been a long journey to get to this blog post where I can honestly share my heart of gratitude. Click here to read entire article where I shared … [Read more...]
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever. Psalm 107:1 We don't know the exact day we met, because we didn't realize at the time that we were making history, but this week, twenty years ago, I met my husband. It's hard to believe it's really been that long. But on the other hand, a lot of life has happened in those twenty years. It took us a while to … [Read more...]
I shared this article several months ago, but in honor of Mother's Day tomorrow, I wanted to re-post it and remind you just how important you moms are. Have a blessed Mother's Day! A True Home "A true home is one of the most sacred of places. It is a sanctuary into which men flee from the world’s perils and alarms. It is a resting-place to which at close of day the weary retire … [Read more...]
I was bragging on my husband yesterday. He deserves it. He works very hard throughout the week, and often through the weekend, too. He is sacrificial with his time and energy for his job and his attitude is great. He loves what he does and enjoys his work, but undoubtedly gets tired and weary, just like the rest of us. Sometimes I think I am more tired than he is. Sometimes I don't … [Read more...]
I love stuff from J.R. Miller. And I have been spending a lot of time thinking about how to be a better wife lately. Oh, that I might love my knight this well. ~Brandy "It is in her own home that warmth of heart and openness of hand are first to be shown. It is as wife and mother that a woman performs her most sacred ministry. Her hand wipes away the teardrops when there is … [Read more...]
If we would have a true home, we must guard well our thoughts and actions. A single bitter word may disquiet the home for a whole day; but, like unexpected flowers which spring up along our path full of freshness, fragrance, and beauty, so do kind words and gentle acts and sweet disposition make glad the home where peace and blessing dwell No matter how humble the abode, if it be … [Read more...]

As a homeschooling mom of eight boys, I find lots to talk about, including the challenges and beauty of this amazing season of motherhood. It is indeed a marathon. Thanks for joining me!
